When way too many processes go into direct reclaim, it is possible for all of the pages to be taken off the LRU. One result of this is that the next process in the page reclaim code thinks there are no reclaimable pages left and triggers an out of memory kill. One solution to this problem is to never let so many processes into the page reclaim path that the entire LRU is emptied. Limiting the system to only having half of each inactive list isolated for reclaim should be safe. Signed-off-by:

If the system is running a heavy load of processes then concurrent reclaim can isolate a large number of pages from the LRU. /proc/vmstat and the output generated for an OOM do not show how many pages were isolated. This has been observed during process fork bomb testing (mstctl11 in LTP). This patch shows the information about isolated pages. Reproduced via: ----------------------- % ./hackbench 140 process 1000 => OOM occur active_anon:146 inactive_anon:0 isolated_anon:49245 active_file:79 inactive_file:18 isolated_file:113 unevictable:0 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0 buffer:39 free:370 slab_reclaimable:309 slab_unreclaimable:5492 mapped:53 shmem:15 pagetables:28140 bounce:0 Signed-off-by:

If sc->isolate_pages() return 0, we don't need to call shrink_page_list(). In past days, shrink_inactive_list() handled it properly. But commit fb8d14e1 (three years ago commit!) breaked it. current shrink_inactive_list() always call shrink_page_list() although isolate_pages() return 0. This patch restore proper return value check. Requirements: o "nr_taken == 0" condition should stay before calling shrink_page_list(). o "nr_taken == 0" condition should stay after nr_scan related statistics modification.

It is possible for the oom killer to select current as the task to kill. When this happens, alloc_flags needs to be updated accordingly to set ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS so the subsequent allocation attempt may use memory reserves as the result of its thread having TIF_MEMDIE set if the allocation is not __GFP_NOMEMALLOC.

Recently we encountered OOM problems due to memory use of the GEM cache. Generally a large amuont of Shmem/Tmpfs pages tend to create a memory shortage problem. We often use the following calculation to determine the amount of shmem pages: shmem = NR_ACTIVE_ANON + NR_INACTIVE_ANON - NR_ANON_PAGES however the expression does not consider isolated and mlocked pages. This patch adds explicit accounting for pages used by shmem and tmpfs. Signed-off-by:

The amount of memory allocated to kernel stacks can become significant and cause OOM conditions. However, we do not display the amount of memory consumed by stacks. Add code to display the amount of memory used for stacks in /proc/meminfo. Signed-off-by:

It is often useful to know the statistics for all pages that are handled like page cache pages when looking at OOM log output. Therefore show_free_areas() should also display buffer cache statistics. Signed-off-by:

show_free_areas() displays only a limited amount of zone counters. This patch includes additional counters in the display to allow easier debugging. This may be especially useful if an OOM is due to running out of DMA memory. Signed-off-by:

I noticed that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only advance to the next node on failure to allocate a huge page, potentially filling nodes with huge-pages. I asked about this on linux-mm and linux-numa, cc'ing the usual huge page suspects. Mel Gorman responded: I strongly suspect that the same node being used until allocation failure instead of round-robin is an oversight and not deliberate at all. It appears to be a side-effect of a fix made way back in commit 63b4613c ["hugetlb: fix hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes"]. Prior to that patch it looked like allocations would always round-robin even when allocation was successful. This patch--factored out of my "hugetlb mempolicy" series--moves the advance of the hstate next node from which to allocate up before the test for success of the attempted allocation. Note that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() is only used for order > MAX_ORDER huge pages. I'll post a separate patch for mainline/stable, as the above mentioned "balance freeing" series renamed the next node to alloc function. Signed-off-by:

Use the [modified] free_pool_huge_page() function to return unused surplus pages. This will help keep huge pages balanced across nodes between freeing of unused surplus pages and freeing of persistent huge pages [from set_max_huge_pages] by using the same node id "cursor". It also eliminates some code duplication. Signed-off-by:

Free huges pages from nodes in round robin fashion in an attempt to keep [persistent a.k.a static] hugepages balanced across nodes New function free_pool_huge_page() is modeled on and performs roughly the inverse of alloc_fresh_huge_page(). Replaces dequeue_huge_page() which now has no callers, so this patch removes it. Helper function hstate_next_node_to_free() uses new hstate member next_to_free_nid to distribute "frees" across all nodes with huge pages. Acked-by:

In test, some pages in swap-cache can't be migrated, as they aren't rmap. unmap_and_move() ignores swap-cache page which is just read in and hasn't rmap (see the comments in the code), but swap_aops provides .migratepage. Better to migrate such pages instead of ignore them. Signed-off-by:

To initialize hotadded node, some pages are allocated. At that time, the node hasn't memory, this makes the allocation always fail. In such case, let's allocate pages from other nodes. Signed-off-by:

Pages on movable zone have two types, MIGRATE_MOVABLE and MIGRATE_RESERVE, both them can be movable, because only movable memory allocation can get pages from movable zone. This makes pages in movable zone always be able to migrate. Signed-off-by:

Pages marked as isolated should not be allocated again. If such pages reside in pcp list, they can be allocated too, so there is a ping-pong memory offline frees some pages to pcp list and the pages get allocated and then memory offline frees them again, this loop will happen again and again. This should have no impact in normal code path, because in normal code path, pages in pcp list aren't isolated, and below loop will break in the first entry. Signed-off-by:

When a cpuset's nodemask is updated, all attached tasks have their cached task->mems_allowed updated by a heap instead of requiring an explicit call to cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), which has since been removed in 58568d2a ("cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in time").

In theory it could happen that on one CPU we initialize a new inode but clearing of I_NEW | I_LOCK gets reordered before some of the initialization. Thus on another CPU we return not fully uptodate inode from iget_locked(). This seems to fix a corruption issue on ext3 mounted over NFS.
